Thanks to those people who sorted me out with the list's rules.  I'm glad I

The iPodder aggregator is mostly accessible with Jaws just needing some 
scripting I think to sort out some details so in essence it is.  However 
this community is growing and heterogeneous therefore having a birds eye 
view of all podtcasting with one aggregator is unlikely just at the moment.

I'm interested to know if people are gaining access to podcasting.  In the
last week alone, two big companies have setup radio download companies
